Hello new Lemmy friends!

Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.

The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.

Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.

We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!

Glad all she took away from this trip was the many outfits she wore and her “hot” husband. Wow what a great candidate to have sent on this trip! Again not a single word about the actual place she went.

The fact that she lists football as something she wants to remember from the Football Game Trip is a slap in the face to the location she traveled to for it in my opinion. I would love to be a fly on the wall when someone innocently asks her what Brazil was like and what she saw/recommends.

One person asked the important questions amongst all the people kissing her ass. I’m sure she deleted it or will never answer.

The plethora of kiss ass comments are sus. No real engagement and conversations, just gush and creepy compliments. Backwards for an ‘influencer’ don’t you think?

[–] crownofgold6@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree! Every post of hers is just the same type of ass kissing comments from weird randoms and then some comments from Tracy Moore, Meredith Shaw and people like that telling Sarah how great she is. And of course creepy Becci on every post.

The only comments she seems to reply to are ones asking her where she got something so she can get those clicks.

I can't stand Tracy Moore and Meredith Shaw. They are on the same scam as Sarah. Both women are hated by viewers. Tracy tanked Cityline. They all need to go.

I agree! I used to not mind Meredith but have come to learn she’s just like the rest of the them. Plus anyone who kisses Sarah’s ass gets a no from me.
